Types of dolphins and characteristics.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dolphins are mammals that live in the water. They are some of the most intelligent creatures besides humans. There are about\u00a043 species of dolphins<\/strong>\u00a0that can be found in the world. Most of them are marine\u00a0dolphins,\u00a0though there a few species that can live just fine in freshwater. Apart from the well-known dolphin we all must have seen at some point in our lives, there are some others that are less common to find. Let\u2019s take a look at some\u00a0types and characteristics<\/strong>\u00a0before you take a\u00a0dolphin swim!<\/p>\n

Bottlenose dolphin<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0bottlenose dolphin is the most well-known specie<\/strong>\u00a0of all. Their name comes, obviously, from the shape of their nose that resembles a bottle and makes them attractive because they seem to be always smiling. They are commonly found near humans because this specie is very sociable and friendly to humans. Their social behavior is very similar to the way humans behave. They live in warmer waters around the world, preferring tropical environments. If you want to get in touch with dolphins, learn from them and have fun at the same time, you will be happy to know that you can have a close experience\u00a0swimming with dolphins at dolphinariums<\/a><\/strong>. Bottlenose dolphins are commonly found there! And there are different options of dolphin swim programs and activities that will let you know a little bit more about these adorable friends and how they behave.<\/p>\n

Common\u00a0dolphin<\/strong><\/p>\n

The common dolphin species can be found in shallow waters and very near to the coast. That is why people have been in contact with them since ancient times. For example, they appear in ancient roman and greek works of art and literature. And that is also a reason why people often mistake the common dolphin with the bottlenose dolphin. The difference is that the common dolphin presents a\u00a0bright and interesting color on its skin<\/strong>. Sometimes they have patterns with dark gray capes on their fins too.<\/p>\n

Atlantic spotted dolphin<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Atlantic spotted dolphin<\/strong>\u00a0is a very long species of dolphin that is known for developing unique spots over their bodies as they get older. That also serves as identification for their age; people can know if they have reached maturity by looking at the spots on them (young dolphins don\u2019t have spots). These dolphins\u2019 behavior is particular. They are\u00a0excellent at communication<\/strong>, using some loud clicks and whistles in order to talk to each other. They form big groups known as \u2018pods\u2019 and are able to coexist and move with other dolphin species without any conflicts.<\/p>\n

One of the best ways of getting closer with dolphins and learn more facts and characteristics is by swimming with them. At dolphinariums in\u00a0Riviera Maya<\/strong>, you will be provided with a complete experience and many options and different\u00a0dolphin swim programs<\/a>. Also, you will find\u00a0modern facilities and locations<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0so you have a safe experience only worrying about having the fun and best experience.<\/p>\n
